To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have, however, omitted these metaphysical contentions purposely ; for if our previous con- clusions have been established, it should be clear that no theory of the practical ideal of good can be dismissed simply on the ground of its metaphysical unsatisfactoriness. We have seen already that there can be no satisfactory account of the moral ideal, and that no moral ideal is ever fully realised. Hence I cannot regard it as a valid argument against Hedonism that its ideal — " the maximum of plea...surable feeling" — is by definition unattainable, self-contradictory, and a mere ens rationis. The same is equally true of every rival theory of the ideal. If you can never really get the " maximum of pleasure, " neither can you ever, for instance, consistently and completely realise yourself.^ If it is true to say of happiness defined in the Hedonist fashion that it is either something you have always got or something you have never got, the same is true of the Anglo-Hegelian ideal of individual perfection.
